Honour

To whom shall I complain?
Eyes wet and chest full of pain
Memories disappears, as ink under rain
Leaving my soul, leaving my brain

To whom shall I write again?
Friends are gone and words are vain
Prisoner of my past, inside a train
Loosing my faith, no dreams remain

How much can I resist, How long can I sustain?
Which odds are mine, and which shall I restrain?
Lost inside a painting, so pure and ingrain
My life has gone down the drain

Hands blue, decorated by a frozen chain
Increasing what my heart contain

Shadows of loneliness, and waves of pain
When treachery wins and honour get stain

Moment of madness

You are a mighty sea
with your storm and stillness
I’m a black stone, laying beneath your feet
full of sorrow and sadness

Asking for your touch, your breath
for waves of forgiveness.

You are a brighten pharos
with your silence and sacredness
brighten my path
I’m a floating boat
lost in sea of darkness

Asking for your guidance
for moments of happiness.

You are an endless ocean
full of life and manifoldness
I’m a drop of rain
full of heaviness
so lonely and fenceless

waiting for your shells to open
to became a pearl of heartiness.

You are a gusty wind
with your movement and quickness
I’m a aimless cloud
waiting to find a place

to cry my loneliness

So sad is this world if you leave me
so empty and poorness,
So misplaced is this soul in a depraved body
without you, without your nearness

What is life without you?
A moment of madness

Stolen mask

Hidden behind a stolen mask
Dark as night
Old as time
Cold as death

Seeking for right moment
For right sign
To put the mask down
To go on

Standing on a bridge, looking back to my past
Afraid to jump, beyond river of sin
Unable to move, chained by irons of lies

Hands shaken, mouth closed
Unable to put my feelings in words

Eyes not shut down, wide open
Memories all that remind

Then You came
As wind hugged my hair
You hugged my soul
Dislodging ancient enemies of regret and pain

You were there
Where no one was standing before
Beside me

In darkness of mind
Your words were candles given to a child You taught me never to run, never to hide

Suddenly the clock stopped ticking
Everything was so quite
The birds break the silence by chirping
And you grabbed that mask
Whispering words of love and trust in my mind

You broke the mask
Released me, from my pains
Now I'm free to go on
I'm free to be the ONE

War

Ruins, blood, suffering, a piece of lie
death, red, fear, a child who cry

Regret, betray, power, fight
rivers of forgiveness, so empty and dry

Beauty of silence, memories of past
flying behind me in a hopeless and dark sky

Jails, murder, rape, sham
Watching birds unable to fly

Games, toys, smile, sand
all this killing, I just wonder
Why?

Forgive me

Forgive me
once again
for what I never told you
for pains hidden inside me
for feelings I never showed you

Forgive me
For looking in your eyes
and again hurting you

Forgive me
for fears and tears
given by me to you

Forgive me
for silence of yeras
and memories token from you

Now you are gone
and I'm alone
searching for a meaning for my life

Forgive me
for not sharing my life with you

Promised land

I'll give you my soul
No doubt will reside in my heart anymore
Sadness is no more your fellow
and stars will bright your night for eternity

I'll send you my dreams, because no night can take you away from me,
inside darkness of night I'll fight soldiers of sorrow and treachery
Defeating my faith, I'll bring peace and harmony to your life

No wind can ever extinguish your candles, because my words will guide you inside oceans of darkness to land of lights and immortality

No hunger will I feel, except touching your lips
Nothing I smell except fragrance of your hair
No magic can be compared to your eyes

Let the blue mountains walk and trees to fall, because no distance will ever keep us away
I feel no pain in death, your arms are heaven in real, let no one says any other words
because in you I found wisdom and faith, your love is a path to the promised land

4th of september

Days of loneliness and pain
You came to my life as rain

You washed my sorrow with your words
and warm my winter with your fireballs

You took me inside your flame
With much love and no blame

You gave me hope, peace and trust
Youok me as a Tornado take the dust

You met me at that day, do you remember?
It was 4th of September

Forever

Will you be the joy of my life?
The One I adore and the one I love

Will you be a dream so pure as silk
and the air that I breath

Will you kiss my soul with your eyes and join my happiness and sorrow to the last?
Will you make me forget pains of my past?

Will you be with me forever, and promise to leave me never
Will you hold my hand when I'm alone
Are you a stranger beyand land of love or an angle lost from sky?

Will you be my friend forever?

I wish

I wish I have never met you
because when you left, my eyes cried as rain

I wish I have never touched your hand
nor got all this pain

I wish the last night could never end
or we never been on top of that mountain

Your smile is now on my mind
and your face as water on that fountain

I wish you the best
Hope to catch you soon on next train

Friendship

The enchantment of your eyes was a path through that dark night
When stars were hidden behind cloud of disloyality

Alone with hundred of Miles ahead, you gave me hope, you gave me immorality
I was lead as a blind in lights of thunder
Without any connection to reality

Your hands took me to a place
far away from my wildest fantasy
to the promise land, land of faith
land of friendship and familiarity

If it is a dream never wake me up,
And if it reality let me die in your vicinity
